start blob (2 replies)

I finally got my tantillus running.

I'm using the tantillus kisslicer profiles with repetier on an azteeg x1 (couldn't get the tantillus marlin fw to compile). When printing starts, the hotend heats up in the corner and starts drooling some plastic. Then it moves to the middle of the table, homes the z axis while still drooling some plastic. This leaves a blob in the middle of the table.

Then printing starts, but since some of the plastic drained out of the hotend, the skirt doesn't print, and sometimes plastic doesn't start flowing until the first layer starts filling in.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something. How do i get around the blob in the middle of the table and make sure that the head is primed and ready to go when the skirt starts printing?

Thanks-
